Kris called me on Sat (or Sun) and said "have you seen that picture Kevin posted?" She start to describe it and I knew the picture.

It was Kevin's house in Cincy. I don't remember the occasion ;-) but Jeff and I must have been home from school (Kev says circa 1974 and that would be about right). I would like to know the time of year but just can't remember.

I think the gist was something like
Dad: "Let's go help Kevin move in to his new house." " What'd say boys?"
Long Haired Boys: "Sure Dad!. What ever you say. We're just sitting around here waiting for the semester to start. Do you think they will feed us?"

For some reason I (think) I remember a un-boxing a new washing machine in an unfinished area (garage, utility room). I don't remember what we had for dinner.

Dad would have been about 51 at the time of that picture (younger than I am now, as you all know). What I noticed, besides the big glasses ( those of you who have watched Letterman will know the routine) was the teeth. Before the dentures.

Anyway Kevin thanks for the memories

Family Contacts

 Carey called me and asked if I could find the listing of contacts for our family that he created years ago.  I did have a file copy and Carey and I updated it.  I have attached this here in Word and Pages that can be edited for new entries and updates.  There is also a PDF copy.  I added sections for Aunts & Uncles and Cousins.  These sections are missing people and dates, but perhaps I can work with Kristin to fill in some of this.

 When watching the evening news today, I saw an image of coal barges lined up at the docks at the USS Mon Valley Steel Plant.  Of course the news segment was about the White House blocking the sale of USS to Nippon Steel.  My mind wandered to to dad's career at the Robena Prep Plant.  I didn't think that it was still in operation but I searched for more information.  I found that the Robena deep mines closed in 1983, but plant continued to operate until 2017 processing coal from surface mining for Consol Mining.  It seems that reclamation of the site began many years before 2017, most likely mandated by local concerns about environmental damage from seepage from the three large slurry ponds and other surface contamination.  Dad took me out one Sunday afternoon to inspect the dikes and berms around the ponds.  We had to hop into one of the big company trucks to traverse the dirt roads around the site. I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
